Could you perhaps explain me the following behaviour? My code is:

sp500 = FinancialData["^SPX", {2007, 1, 1}, Method -> "Legacy"]

This gives me a list that ends with yesterday's value (4,509.37 at 2021-08-27).

But without "Method->Legacy" it shows the last value somewhere in the middle of 2020.

In addition, when I run this:

DateListPlot[{zlato, sp500}, PlotLegends -> {"gold", "SP500"}]

I get a chart where you can see the gold price is up-to-date, but SP500 is not.

enter image description here

Any idea, why would that be?

Thanks,

Jiri

P.S. zlato is gold, is defined as

zlato = FinancialData["XAU/USD", {2007, 1, 1}, Method -> "Legacy"]

With PlotRange limited to 2020-2021, the Plot looks like this: enter image description here

    $\begingroup$ What is zlato? You forgot to include its definition. DateListPlot[sp500] is up to date for me in v12.3.1. Are you sure you aren't just missing a PlotRange option in the DateListPlot ? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ PlotRange doesn't change anything with DateListPlot[{zlato, sp500}, PlotLegends -> {"gold", "SP500"}, PlotRange -> {{{2020}, {2021}}, Automatic}] you get a more detailed plot obviously, but still with missing data for SP500. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I think the issue is the different dimension of the two time series - the gold has got more trading dates (entries) than there are trading dates of SP500. Would you agree? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Try adding the PlotRange -> All option to each DateListPlot. $\endgroup$

To make the plot synchoronized I had to do TimeSeriesResample so that both time-series had the same "DatePath". Then the DateListPlot works without problem.
